About this Event

About Dance Date with Decent Dance:

DANCE DATE is a dance-for-all workshop that invites paired participants ages 8+ to explore communication, trust, and creativity with a loved one through contemporary dance and creative movement. Class requires no prior experience with dance: theater-based eye contact/focus exercises, ”trust fall” exercises, and elements of dance theory are employed to build trust and connection, while inevitably fostering a few giggles. Come with your child, your grandma, your best friend, or your partner and enjoy a Valentines Day date that celebrates love and connection in all its forms.

Dance Date is part of the Friday Night Lights series. Following the workshop portion of the event, we'll have a dance party and refreshments will be available.

About Decent Dance:

Tony Guglietti received his BFA from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Upon graduation, he became a founding member of Sean Curran Company and toured across the globe. Kristin Wagner hasn’t done any of that, but she manages to work through her inferiority complex in rehearsal just fine. Together as Decent Dance, the pair creates accessible contemporary performance works that dabble in comedy, dramedy, and all things silly, sweet and true.

The duet’s collaborative creative process relies on a foundation of sharing space and weight, balancing impulse and input, the occasional lovers’ quarrel, and Cheez-Its®. Tony and Kristin take great joy in teaching composition and expression through a contemporary dance lens to students of all ages, and have taught at the Dance Theatre of Greenville (SC), Free Form Dance Academy (MA), New England Conservatory (MA) and The Dance Complex (MA). Decent Dance has presented work in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, and South Carolina at The Dance Complex, the Boston Center for the Arts, AS220, the Maine International Dance Festival, and the Equinox Dance Festival, among others. Their favorite performance to date was their wedding in September 2022 at the cutest little flower farm you ever did see in Barre, MA. In late 2023, Decent Dance welcomed Nico Guglietti to the company after a lengthy audition process. He made his stage debut in June 2024, at six months old.
